A generalization is a statement drawn from particular facts that is generally true about a broad category of things. As such, it may be misleading or stereotypical, and not accurate for an entire group or category.Example : "Old coins and stamps are valuable."(They can be, but some are and some aren't. It depends on supply and demand.)Ethnic GeneralizationsIrish people drink a lot of alcohol.Black people have rhythm.White men can't jump. (basketball)All animals have four legs.Those are generalizations. They may or may not be true for any specific individual.

Generalization is not always but most often a negative thing as it deprives a culture or human race of its individuality. All people are different, no matter what culture they may come from or belong to. Stating that "all Indians answer phone calls and live in the slum" are as credible as saying "all Americans are morbidly obese". It might fit parts of a culture, country or race, but is essentially not true as there are many rich or middle-class Indians and many fit Americans.

The main generalization you can make about all multiples of 5 would be that they will either end in the digit 0 or 5. So 5, 487975, 100, and so on all are multiples of 5. I don't believe there are any other generalizations that can be made about it.
